California Bound tracks three generations of my family from the Gold Rush of 1849 through the Great Depression of the 1930s. Seeking adventure in the Golden State, they sailed around Cape Horn, crossed the Plains in a covered wagon, and traveled by paddlewheel steamer and transcontinental train. They searched for gold in the Sierra foothills, camped in Yosemite Valley in 1857, built a lumber and shipping empire along the Pacific Coast, and developed "the largest diversified farm in the world." In lives filled with grand schemes and broken dreams, they reached for the stars and fell back to earth. California bound them together.

Pike, Peter: - Peter Pike Jr. is a fourth-generation Californian, who grew up in Marin County and attended the University of California, Berkeley. He served in the Peace Corps in Honduras (1965-67) and sailed across the Atlantic singlehanded (1972-1973). Now retired from a business career in commercial real estate, Peter lives with his wife, Dyan, in Greenbrae, California, and enjoys visits with their four grandsons. As Finn, Kai, Vincent, and Arthur set out on their own adventures in life, he wishes them fair winds and gentle seas.
